	By playing around with Hayes switch settings and Dialers scripts, I
	am now communicating with ihnp4 at 2400 baud both ways.  The only
	problem is that if there is an abnormal termination (my cat knocking
	the modem on the floor), my 3b2 has no way of knowing that the line is
	gone, so constantly cycles the login: prompt until another call comes
	in.  Because uugetty thinks it has a login, it won't dial out.  
	The fix is to kill my cat or splurge for a non-hayes compatible 2400
	baud modem.  I am now using both ARK and USRobotics 2400 baud modems,
	both Hayes compatible.
	BTW, the fix is to disable all echoing/messages from the Hayes, and have 
	the Dialers script do a blind dial with some pauses.
	2nd BTW. I received a ports board software upgrade that completly fixed
	another problem I posted about.  DTR would randomly go away and I had
	to re-boot to fix.  This fix actually did fix!!
